Then he broke his leg and will be out for the season. Tyler Muprhy (pictured), who was a receiver early last year, replaced Driskel and led the Gators to a 31-17 victory, their ninth consecutive over Tennessee.

Shelton, gave Notre Dame a chance to win a kind of game you don't often see in this decade. The Irish had 14 first downs and 220 total yards but still beat the Spartans, 17-13. The Spartans were frustrated by 10 penalties, including five that kept Irish drives alive. Can McDaniel slipped into the end zone for the game-winner early in the fourth quarter. The Irish had no turnovers.

So have quarterback Zack Mettenberger, who has 10 TDs and one interception, and Jeremy Hill, who has an average carry of 8.3 yards and six touchdowns. Hill (pictured) had a monster 183-yard game, with three scores, as LSU throttled Auburn Saturday, 35-21, to remain unbeaten.

They outlasted a good Utah State team, 17-14, denying the Aggies on 11 of 14 third downs. Leonard Williams (pictured) and Morgan Breslin led the pressure on QB Chuckie Keeton, each getting three tackles for loss. Next up is a trip to Arizona State. PHOTO BY MARK J.

They trailed Connecticut, 21-7, on the road but rallied to win, 24-21, when Fitzgerald Toussaint (pictured) ran for two second-half touchdowns and Brandon Gibson's kicked the game-winning field goal with 4:36 left after a one-handed interception by Desmond Morgan. Devin Gardner had a rough game for the Wolverines, who suffered four turnovers. Last week Michigan had to dodge an upset by Akron at home.

They trailed Arkansas, 24-7, and then rallied to win, 28-24. Leonte Carroo (pictured) caught two touchdowns from Gary Nova in the fourth quarter to wrap up the home victory, and Janarion Grant got the comeback started with a 58-yard punt return TD. It was the first loss at Arkansas for coach Bret Bielma. Nova and Carroo were teammates at Don Bosco Prep, the national powerhouse which lost at Mission Viejo last week.

Travis Wilson (pictured) had trouble escaping the Cougars at times but he also hit 24 of 35 passes for 278 yard and no interceptions as the Utes won their fourth consecutive game over BYU, 20-13. Michael Walker's late interception stopped the Cougars' final bid. Utah, 3-1, plays host to UCLA next.

Savage threw for 424 yards, six touchdodwns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 58-55 victory at Duke. In doing so he overcame a four-TD day by Corona's Brandon Cornette, who ran for 101 yards but threw four picks.

The much-advertised running back ran for 141 yards and two scores as Texas got past Kansas State, 31-21, to improve to 2-2. Texas QB David Ash left with concussion problems and was replaced by Case McCoy. News that a Texas regent contacted Alabama's Nick Saban about replacing Brown was acknowledged by fans who wore “Saban 2014” T-shirts to the game in Austin.
